This might be a reasonable preference for the setings but, more importantly,
we can also set blank_after to very high values to ensure the watch doesn't
sleep during the voice over in videos!
This gives the simulator a more natural feel since the "swipe left" action
usually means "more a screen to the right". This will probably make
testing games impossible but makes it much easier to navigate the menus.
Here the biggest changes are in the test application because we
refactor a number of the tests to make better use of the button.
Although applications may consume button events it does have a
default behavior which is to switch to the default application
(usually the clock).
After a bit of testing I have not yet come up with a fast, visually
acceptable horizontal animated effect. Instead we simply reply on
screen blanking during the redraw... meaning there is no need for an
effect hint.
This is a big change that break compatiblity with existing applications
*and* with existing installed versions of main.py.
When upgrading it is import to update main.py:
./tools/wasptool --upload wasp/main.py
This is something of an experiment but now the app roll is traversed using
horizontal swipes and applications should primarily use vertical swipes
to navigate internally. This is mostly because if "feels" better but it
also leaves the vertical scrolling hardware available for use by the
app.
This makes line-by-line drawing more efficient because don't have to
handle the dc line. The optimization targets font rendering and if good
for slightly less than 10% rendering improvement.
Moving it from applications into the watch is useful for two reasons.
Firstly it means applications don't need to know as much about the
display color depth and secondly it makes it easier to replace the
drawing routines with wasptool.
We now generate documentation for everything included in the PineTime
manifest (although, at this stage, not everything in the manifest has
all the required docstrings).
In addition to the fix (which is simple) we also modify the button handling
of the simulator because, rather by acident, it relies on the bugs in the
battery meter redraw to ensure the simulator stays active.
Migrate the filling of the line buffer into a seperate function.
This does naturally reduce the cost of the loop management but
much more importantly allows us to use viper native code
generator.
The ADC on nRF doesn't run precisely stable which means the battery
meter can flicker if updated too often. This will eventually
be fixed by the framework but, for now, let's just force the
update rate to be fairly slow.
